Wednesday, April 9, 2025 – On March 5, 2025, we sent a notice to community members about the Land Use Plan consultations. The dates have since changed. Please see the updated information and new dates below. Miigwech.
What is the Land Use Plan?
The proposed NFN Land Use Plan is a set of rules to guide how our land is developed and used. It will help decide how we plan and build on different pieces of land, ensuring development happens in a way that is responsible and benefits future generations.
What does this mean for members?
This plan affects everyone in our community. By creating this Land Use Plan, NFN is exercising its right to self-government, which includes deciding how our land is used and developed. The Chief and Council want to make sure that all members have a voice in how our land is managed. This plan helps protect our traditions, resources, and rights, and ensures that development happens in the rights places for the benefit of all.
We need your input!
Your opinion matters! We invite you to join the consultation sessions to hear more about the proposed Land Use Plan and share your thoughts. We want to know what you think about how we should use and protect our land. This is your chance to have a direct impact on the future of NFN lands.
Members’ comments or questions are welcome on the draft Land Use Plan. Cameron Welch, Director of Lands, Natural Resources, Environment & Economic Development, will collect any comments for reporting and consideration until May 15, 2025. Please send your comments or questions directly to his email at [email protected].
